Dispute settled with a BB gun
A single traffic stop Tuesday, May 25, cleared nine misdemeanor warrants on a 21-year-old woman and may have added more charges for the young woman and her grandmother.
Just after 4 p.m., police answered a disturbance call from the 400 block of Gramont Avenue in the Westwood neighborhood. The caller said a neighbor had pulled a gun on her and fled in a older model Buick Regal.
Because a gun reportedly was involved, several crews descended on the area, identified the vehicle — driven by the 21-year-old with her grandmother as a passenger — and made a “high threat” traffic stop. The weapon turned out to be a Colt Defender BB gun, which looks identical to a semi-automatic pistol, according to police. Police said the grandmother was disorderly, cursing police.
Back at the scene, witnesses said the grandmother had started screaming at her neighbors who were gathered on their front porch. The grandmother, 59-year-old Shirley Johnson, came on the porch and threatened those gathered there. Johnson then staggered off the porch and stood in the front yard continuing her threats.
It was then that the granddaughter, 21-year-old Kylie McComb, showed up in the front yard with what appeared to be a gun in her hand. She held the group of women at bay on the porch, threatening to shoot them. When one started to call police on her cell phone, the grandmother and granddaughter fled in the Buick.
One of the women told police problems had been escalating between neighbors over three weeks. Apparently a cousin of one of the women had gotten into some kind of dispute with the grandmother and granddaughter.
Following her arrest, police discovered McComb had nine outstanding warrants for various traffic and criminal offenses.
Both McComb and Johnson were taken to the county lockup. McComb and Johnson were to appear Wednesday afternoon in Dayton Municipal Court on misdemeanor aggravating menancing and aggravated trespassing. Johnson also faces misdemeanor disorderly conduct.
